Great to meet you!

Hello! I am Debra Killackey. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional with approx. 20 years of experience. I offer face-to-face and video therapy sessions to clients.

I have helped couples and individuals build the components necessary for strong, resilient relationships within themselves and with others.

My approach to therapy

I take a unique approach with each person to keep your goals the focus of our treatment. I use evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Imago Relationship Therapy (IRT), DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) and Trauma Informed Care to help you achieve your goals. I aim to make each person feel welcomed, cared for, accepted, and empowered – regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation.

What you can expect from me

I guide clients towards gaining empowerment over their life by providing tools to navigate personal experiences in a more fulfilling manner. If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, depressed or have past experiences that continue to affect you, you have come to the right place. I work hard to create a collaborative, constructive and challenging environment that is also consistent with compassion, acceptance, warmth and occasional humor.
